Not every home needs a sprawling footprint to feel generous, and this renovated beauty proves that point. Here, the floorplan is practical throughout and open where it counts. Ready to provide many years of happiness to its next lucky owner without needing them to be a slave to maintenance, it's an easy stroll from the local shops to grab a takeaway meal or essentials, and moments from The University of Newcastle. It boasts convenience (and investor appeal), in spades. The modern kitchen was designed for entertaining complete with a stone-surfaced breakfast bar to anchor conversation while offering a handy servery window out to a generously scaled alfresco area that is ready for all-season entertaining. Open flow living includes living, dining and family zones and three bedrooms branch off the main living areas, each with built-in storage or walk-in robe, while the main bedroom gains the added practicality of an ensuite. A renovated main bathroom, lock-up single carport and secure low-maintenance yard keep the property practical and easycare. Shortland is quietly reshaping itself.
